Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the Fire HD 8's screen size, ease of use, and sound quality, frequently citing these as positive aspects of the tablet. Many also appreciate its lightweight design and find it to be a good value for the price. However, some users express concerns regarding the battery life and limited storage capacity, suggesting these areas could be improved. The camera, while mentioned positively by some, did not receive as much attention as other features.

    My wife loved her previous Kindle Fire (first gen), and now she really loves her new Kindle Fire...I love the price. For what you get, I'll take this over an Apple any day! I have an older iPad (I won it from work) and I rarely use it, she didn't like it, so my kids beat it up now. My wife takes this everywhere. It goes on camping trips, the beach, car rides, picnics, soccer practices, etc. She reads a lot, checks email, and does some social media garbage - and this does it all flawlessly. I played with it a little and there is noticeable difference in the processor as well as the OS they use now. Expandable memory is a super plus, too. If you want a tablet to take great pics and have great sound quality, get a better cell phone. Honestly, don't be that person holding a giant tablet trying to take pics... Overall, if you just want a good tablet to carry with you don't waste your money on Apple (ever), this will last longer and do more of the basics.

    I got this for Mother's Day from my husband because my Fire HD 8.9 went kaput after almost 3 years. I use it mainly for my games. It's good but once in a while my games start getting slow. Other than that, I have no complaints. I like its size. When I go out I just slip it into my bag.

    I had a Kindle Paperwhite for ages but could not enjoy photos and illustrations in books. Now I can. The battery life is kinda disappointing, however, as the Kindle Fire 8 uses the battery quickly. Plus, you can't find a simple cover for it like you can for the 7.
